Signing Tots
Sign with your Baby

Pre-Schools & Primary Schools

Children of this age group pick up British Sign Language very quickly. We currently work with children at the Foundation Stage Level and Key Stage 1.

We can visit your setting and :

  • Run fun Sign & Sing sessions where the children learn to sign to popular songs and nursery rhymes with the help of props & puppets.
  • Sign Stories & if required link with current themes in school.
  • Teach the BSL alphabet which helps children with letter recognition, sounds and spelling their names.
  • Promote Deaf Awareness.

Benefits of signing:

  • Children are learning a valuable second language & life skill
  • Improved overall communication skills: facial expression, body language, eye contact (all very important when using BSL).
  • Improved concentration.
  • Help with classroom management
